Institute for Marine and Atmospheric research Utrecht - IMAU
Description
Climate, oceans, coasts, ice, atmospheric dynamics, physics and chemistry. IMAU is part of Utrecht University. Scientific research and education. The mission of the Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research Utrecht (IMAU) is to contribute to the basic science of the oceans, atmosphere and cryosphere. To achieve this we try to maintain an open and stimulating research and study environment in which students and staff are inspired to give their best. Education is an essential part of our mission and our researchers are therefore active teachers in the bachelor and master programs of our university.

Oceanographic data converted into music. Oceanographers Erik van Sebille and Will de Ruijter (IMAU) worked together with composer Stef Veldhuis. This resulted in unique musical compositions. The event took place last week in Utrecht.
Have you ever wondered what the ocean sounds like? Not the waves breaking on the beach, but the ocean currents themselves? Oceanographers Erik van Sebille and Will de Ruijter have been teaming up with composer Stef Veldhuis and translated the data from Argo instruments that float around in the ocean into musical compositions. On October 31st, these compositions will be performed by a professional string quartet. You are most welcome to come and listen to this unique performance! Note that some of the (short) presentations will be in Dutch, but obviously the musical performances transcend any language boundaries. See the link below for more information.
